Abstract
Following the administration of aspirin to rats by gavage, both 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate appeared in the plasma. The concentration of the 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate was significantly higher in animals exposed to 100% O2 for 60 h than in air breathing controls. These data are evidence that increased salicylate hydroxylation is associated with oxidative stress.
